The Awful Dr. Orloff (Spanish: Gritos en la noche, lit. 'Screams in the Night'; French: L'Horrible Docteur Orloff) is a 1962 horror film written and directed by Jess Franco. A co-production between Spain and France, filmed in Madrid, it is the first horror film directed by Franco, and is considered to be the earliest Spanish horror film.In 1912, five beautiful easy women are kidnapped and the efficient Inspector Tanner, who is engaged to ballerina Wanda Bronsky, is assigned to the case. The person responsible for the abductions is Dr. Orloff, a former prison doctor, and his deformed assistant Morpho Lodner, who was a prisoner sentenced to death and revived by Dr. Orloff, who brings the women to the Hartog Castle to remove their skin and use it to repair the face of his daughter that was burned in a fire. When Wanda decides to help her beloved fiancé to find the criminal, she becomes the next victim of Dr. Orloff. Now Inspector Tanner's last chance to find Dr. Orloff relies on the lead of the drunkard Jeannot. | |
